In a statement online, the organisation said it had purchased a 102-hectare property located about 80 kilometers north-west of the existing facilities, where they have been since 1909.
The statement said: “It is expensive to operate and maintain the facilities in Brooklyn. By relocating to a compact facility, the Witnesses can make better use of funds to support their work of Bible education.
“An environmental review process is required before final permits can be granted. If all goes well, construction will begin in 2013 and will be completed in four years.
“Some 800 Witnesses will live and work at the new facility, which will include an office building, a services building, and four residence buildings.
“A modest museum documenting the modern-day history of Jehovah’s Witnesses is also planned.”
You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.
